There were cries of joy in the Pavillon Dauphine room which hosted the draw for the 32nd finals of the Coupe de France this Monday evening. Particularly on the side of the representatives of Revel (Regional 1) who will face PSG during the first weekend of January (5-6-7).
“We are overjoyed to welcome the best team in France,” smiles President Didier Roques. We are a united team that likes to party. Starting tomorrow, we will look into the question of the stadium. The president of TFC, Damien Comolli, advised us not to take the Stadium because of the rental costs. But he will help us make contacts. There are approved stadiums in the Toulouse area. Colomiers, Ernest Wallon…” First in their R1 group from which they are promoted, the Revel players only train twice a week.

SSG Agreement – Bordeaux, a gala poster
As for the three survivors from the Ile-de-France region, Jimmy Modeste and Bernard Williot, the coach and president of the Entente SSG (N3) were also smiling.
Almost 18 years after a 16th final lost 2-1 in Gironde, the Entente Sannois-Saint-Gratien will meet the Girondins de Bordeaux (L2). Despite their last place in the standings in their N3 group, the Val-d’Oisiens had a good run in the Coupe de France, notably with the success (1-0) at the expense of Furiani (N2) during the 8th round.
This will also be the third 32nd final since 2018. In 2019, the Entente even eliminated Montpellier (1-0) before losing (0-1) in the next round against Nantes (L1). The meeting should take place at the Michel-Hidalgo stadium, still approved at this stage of the competition despite some work this summer. The enclosure can hold up to 3,500 people.
“We wanted to play against a big team and Bordeaux is a very big name in French football even if they have been less good for 2-3 years,” says coach Jimmy Modeste. Our workforce is older than that of Bordeaux. Our players will have a program to follow during the holidays to be ready. In a match everything is possible even if the Bordelais have quality young people. It will be a duel of the poorly ranked (smile). » Bordeaux occupies, in fact, a disastrous relegation place (17th) in L2.
“We are very happy to be able to organize a beautiful party. It will be a great reward for the supporters and also the people behind the scenes who work for the club, appreciates president Bernard Williot. We hope to see a lot of people to fill the stadium. This brings joy after a few difficult seasons (two relegations from National to N3 in 4 years). »
Chambly – Racing, a championship poster
For Racing CFF (N2) which returns to the 32nd finals, 20 years after its last participation, this round of the Coupe de France will resemble an ordinary championship match. The Colombes club will indeed find Chambly which it has faced for two seasons in N2. This year during the first leg on September 16, Racing and Chambly drew (0-0). “We are very happy to meet an opponent we know. We are going to play in a beautiful stadium dedicated to the cause of a team that is very fit and obviously the favorite,” said president Patrick Norbert.
Paris FC (L2), which is playing its 4th round of 32 over the last five seasons, will travel to Alès, currently 11th in its group in N2.
